Despite some pretty harsh reaction from the hardcore sectors of comic nerddom, I actually liked last summer's
Amazing Spider Man film reboot a lot. I also
really enjoyed the tie-in game, even though it borrowed a lot of ideas from the Batman Arkham games. Now that game is coming to Wii U as the Ultimate Edition, which includes all previous DLC on disc and some new Wii U-specific features, like using Peter Parker's handy phone menu right on the GamePad screen. The game will also let you play in off-screen mode, a feature that I hope more Wii U games incorporate going forward.
Amazing Spider Man Ultimate Edition will release March 5th at the budget price of $39.99.
Activision and Marvel Entertainment today announced that
The Amazing Spider-Man™
